Casas Bahia

Friday, 8th September 2006 by James

Some classic ‘Large Type’ action in Brazil - Casas Bahia is the largest retail chain in Brazil, and proudly display their logo on the roof.

They have a complex numbering scheme for their buildings - you’ll see that this is number 1 and to the West is number 2. I spent a while considering why they’ve numbered the buildings on the roof but I gave in and decided to post it anyway :D

Thanks: Ivan
